You, my friends, are all my scorners And it seems your words of wind will have no end While my adversary charges Like a monster with its teeth he tear and rends My face is streaked with weeping And the darkness of my death is on my eyes Like a prey I've fled and fallen In the dust I crawl and have no strength to rise If I've turned my steps to vanity Or spoken in deceit the words of sin I would be the first to tell you And agree that I deserve this pain I'm in But of sin I am not guilty And the prayer from deep within my heart is pure And for as long as life is in me I will hold that my integrity is sure I have sensed His sound and shadow But I turn and look and He's no longer there In futility I have sought Him If you know the place He's hiding, tell me where For if I could only find Him I would bring my case for justice to His throne I would lay it all before Him And my righteousness would once for all be known (Repeat) I'd demand the whole indictment I would wear it like a crown before His face Like a prince I would approach Him And declare that my accuser has no case And I call the earth to witness Cover not by blood until God hears my cry Let this wrong be still remembered 'Til at last there is an answer from on high Let this wrong be still remembered 'Til at last there is an answer from on high
